UK parliament demographics chart
I wondered how the ages of MPs and members of the House of Lords compared to the UK population so I made some charts.

Remember the bit in 1984 when they reduce the chocolate ration from 20g to 10g a week, and Winston has to change all the archives to make it look like it used to be 5g a week, and the loyal population stage a rally praising Big Brother for increasing the chocolate ration…? twitter.com/ivankatrump/st…

Thank you @POTUS for taking critical action ending family separation at our border. Congress must now act + find a lasting solution that is consistent with our shared values;the same values that so many come here seeking as they endeavor to create a better life for their families

Interesting use of ‘informed myself’ which I think had died out now. I like it when older English is more like the German. In this case ‘ich informiere mich’. twitter.com/samuelpepys/st…

I informed myself that there died four or five at Westminster of the plague in one alley in several houses upon Sunday last, Bell Alley, over against the Palace-gate.
